It is a good photo. I like the expression of calm and focus. I think a closer crop would bring that out even more.

Christer: The image is processed to look like a sepia lith print. So, the tonality is correct for that style. Furthermore, the processing you mention, by adding saturation, clarity and sharpness, is just a shortcut to unnatural-looking images. It's ironic that you keep telling people what to do and yet only reveal what you don't know.
